WHO PAYSTH£ INCREASE? There never was a-greater fallacy than the Republican claim that pros tection has the effect of increasing wages, says the Atlanta Journal: Bnt suppose, for the sake of argu ment, that we admit that it is true —the question then arrises, by whom is this increase of wages paid? It is not by the producers of the articles protected, for they do not increase the wages of their employes. They avail themselves of the benefit of the protection, by adding the duty, or at least a part of the duty, to their goods. The consumer, then, is the man who pays the increased wages (if they are increased) and not the producer or manufacturer. Is this right? Upon what principle of jus tice or political equality can one large class of the community, who are not at all benefited by the system, be taxed for the prefit of a smaller class even when the benefit is in the form increasing of the wages of labor? The increase of wages, like the duty, must necessarily increase the cost of the product of that labor, and the protected and benefitted producer, instead of the consumer, should pay the increase. But the fact is that increased dus ties are not followed by an increase of wages. They rather have the ef fect of giving the producer or manu facturer more power to dictate the wages of labor, because he is freed from foreign competition. The De mocrats have called in vain, from Massachusetts to Iowa, during the late election campaign, for the pro duction of a single instance in which the increase of duties by the McKin ley Jaw has been followed by an in* crease of wages. They might as well have “called spirits from the vastly deep.” THE BANNER’S INTERVIEWS. For several weeks past the Banner has been publishing interviews with the congressman who will go to Washington from Georgia soon. It was the Banner's purpose to give these interviews for more reasons than one. In the first place they made good and interesting reading. They were the congressmen’s own views, told in their own words, and bore upon the most, important measures which in their opinions should come up be fore the next congress. Again it is the people’s right to know what our congressmen hope to accomplish for them. They want to know what to expect of them. Congressman Thomas G. Lawson of this oistrict,the first of the mem bers interviewd by the Banner says tariff reform is the first duty the Democratic 52nd congress owes the people. In this he was endorsed by every other congressman inter viewed. They all agree ho? «v t that the free coinage of silver meat be a plank which the party platform must have in it. It is their opinion that tariff reform comes first and the free coinage comes next in order of the most important legislation for the next congress. NOT A WHIT BETTER. The ever reliable editor of the Nashville American remarks that, rioters, who turned loose rapists, cat-throats and thieves to prey upon society, are not a whit better thar the felons they liberated. The ques tion is should not society consider them even worse? The crimes ol which the convicts were guilty were most of them committed, in all proba- bility, under some kind of pressure, either from passion of necessity, while the outrage of which the mi Hers stand accused was deliberate and cold-blooded. They had plenty of time to consider the result of the violation ot law they contemplated, and const quently are, in every sense responsible. Under such circum stances their act had all the elements of guilt that distinguished murder rom manslaughter. The same deed may be committed with varying de* grees of criminality dependent upon the opportunity in ct»ch case for re flection. The rioters, in turning the convicts loose on the people, practi cally adopted as their own, if not the crimes of which the latter already had been guilty, certainly those of which they might be guilty in future.

It is told that after the defeat of the Chili governmant troops at the battle of Concon, Vina del Mar, near Valpariso, a little lad of eight or nine years of axe, batless and barefooted, arrived in the town of Vina del Mar and gave a toler able circumstantial account 6f the fight. Ac first his story was not believed, but little by little his tale was credited and listened to with astonishment that a child of his tender age should have been present at such a sanguinary encounter. He quite artlessly Btated that when the San Fernando battalion left the town with banners flying and |band playing he imagined the troops were going out to exercise, and followed them till he found himself on the field of battle When the defeat and rout ensued he joined a group of stragglers and at last found his way back to Vina del Mar,by way of Quilpne, at which place some body gave him a piece of bread and drink of water.

J. 3.Shipman,now Says the Macon EveniogNews: The Diocesan convention of Georgia will meet next Wednesday, in Macon, for the third time, to electa successor to the lamented Bishop Beckwith. In connection with the election a prominent Episcopalian calls attention to one or two vital questions which pre sent themselves. Many cooiend that it is unnecessary to go outside of the state to make a choice for a Bishop. They say that it is by far better to select a minis ter'within the diocese, one familiar with its needs and acquainted with its past and future. They claim that such a man ia needed, and that there are any number ot ministers in tbe diocese who are in every way capable of filling tbe high office with credid to themselves and the diocese. All agree that a wide-awake, active, aggressive man is needed—one who is at tbe same time careful and conservative, ever keeping at heart the best interests .of the church aad tbe diocese. Neither an extreme high churchman or an ultra low churchman is wanted, but rather a man of broad and compre hensive views, who appreciates fully tbe sanctity and impressiveness of an elaborate ritual, and yet at the same time feels that ho can worship God with tbe same fervor in tbe humblest chapel. A true man of God is needed, one whose mind thoroughly accords with tbe teachings of his own church, and yet with a sympathetic touch and aid ing band for all who call themselves Christians. Tbe following ia an extract from a private letter from oue of the conven tion delegates to a friend in this city suggesting a new candidate for the bishopric: The essential requisites of a bishop are: g 1. Godliness. 2. Learning and ability to defend the church aud doctrines against all assail ants. 8- A missionary spirit and devotion to missionary work. . n , 4 Prayer book eburchmanship, |nei ther incliuiug to Rome nor Geneva. 5.
